Sweet little buddies! #caturday

Spring ephemerals are blooming! #northernillinois #wildflowers #forestfriday #nature

Delighting in the early ephemerals! #nature #wildflowers #naturephotography

Delighting in having spent the morning wandering the woods with a lovely group of Forest Bathers this morning. Connecting to the land, with all the beings, on this second day of Spring was simply perfect. 💚 #forestbathing #foresttherapy #natureconnection #joy #nature #urbannature #chicago

This little cluster fly very sweetly hung out with me for a bit while enjoying a warmer, midwestern day in March. I know they can be considered a nuisance but today this buddy was a sweet presence. #bugs #nature #naturephotography #allcreaturesgreatandsmall

I lead a group of Forest bathers on Saturday in a chilly but meaningful session through a midwestern woodland. In times of stress and uncertainty, the grounding and support received from the Forest and from each other is good medicine. #forestbathing #foresttherapy #grateful #nature #trees

Cloudy haze makes for a beautiful view of the sun. #nature #naturephotography #chicago

A beautiful late afternoon wander along my beloved path. Grateful for the urban nature landscape and the much appreciated comfort it provides. #nature #naturephotography #calm #gratitude #bluespaces #greenspaces #chicagoriver #forestbathing

Sometimes you just need to watch water. #bluespace #waterislife #nature #naturephotography #urbannature #chicagoriver

Very much drawn to the light and shadow during today’s woodsy wanderings. #nature #naturephotography #forestbathing

There’s something about a peachy hue and wintry forest #nature #sunset #naturephotography

Getting used to the early darkness, shorter days, and taking in the lessons nature has to share with us. #nature #seasons

Love being out with the trees but sometimes it’s nice to be with them from indoors with a delicious cup of coffee! #nature #coffee #natureeverywhere

Loving that the beautiful fleurs show us how to give back to the earth by sharing their seeds so that next season their kin will emerge and carry on the beauty of wildflowers. #nature #naturephotography #mindfulness #forestbathing #natureconnection #fleurs #wildflowers

The blue sky is a gorgeous backdrop, a canvas, upon which the images changes each minute with the wind. #nature #naturephotography #bluesky #awe #beauty #clouds #sky #trees

The first bloom from my Jerusalem artichokes this season. Oh happy day! 🥰 #naturephotography #sunflowers #nature

I love to see the clouds float layers against the blue sky, some just resting there while others float on by. #clouds #sky #nature #naturephotography #autumnsky #awe

Beautiful sunfleurs and their mathematical genius 😊❤️ #nature #sunflowers #naturephotography

A beautiful summer storm rolling in and rolling out as quickly as it came. A soft thunder is rumbling in the distance. #Chicago #summer #nature #clouds #summerstorms
